[OTR-dev] OTR encryption state

[Evan Schoenberg]

Implementing these modes requires more changes, and it sounds like more 
library-level changes, than just making it not automatically 
re-negotiate (the automatic re-negotiation could even occur iff a 
callback to the libotr's UI returns YES, so the behavior could be 
customized [or not] as desired)... "emulating" a fix to a problem 
instead of just fixing it isn't a good idea in my opinion, and fixing 
it would provide a more intuitive user experience and less complex user 
interface.
